Mud Tug, hands-down, has my vote for number one campus activity you need to experience before graduation. The event is a 10-vs-10 tug-of-war competition held in mud pits located on the fields behind the freshmen dining hall. An excuse to get dirty, play in the mud, and snap awesome photos.

I have posted three of my favorite shots from the event: the first is a close up of the “Dream Team” in action, starring Karey Pine, Senior Director of the Center for Campus Life (photo credit to Erik Ellingson). The second is an action shot of the Zeta Tau Alpha Executive Council tugging, and falling in the mud (photo credit to Erik Ellingson). The final photo is of student ambassador Emily Piccione preparing to be thrown into the mud, go-pro secured to catch the dive on film (photo credit to Evan Theroux).
